PCA Teen Cheerleader Program
The PCA Teen Cheerleader Program gives high school girls the opportunity to work with Professional Cheerleaders Alumni members who provide personal coaching and mentoring in dance and cheer, personal appearance, self confidence and so much more!
What really makes this program unique is PCA’s partnership with the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation who allows this team the opportunity to perform at multiple home games in the stands with the children in the Jacksonville Jaguars Foundation Honor Rows® Program. The young ladies in the PCA Teen Cheerleader Program become role models themselves as they work with special organizations throughout the Jacksonville and surrounding communities with entertainment opportunities to dance & cheer.

“I tried out for the Jaguars for three years before actually making the team; I like to mention this because I want to instill to the girls, participating in the PCA Teen Cheerleader program to never give up on achieving their biggest dreams. I look forward to working with the girls this season and want to push them to be the best representatives they can be- not only for this cheer program, but for themselves, as young women growing in today’s society.”
